I've only been lightly following the discussion (I'm interested in the library, but presently swamped with other things), but this caught my eye. You might find boost::assign::list_of and friends to be useful for dealing with the "storing them one by one in a vector" dance.
Thanks, but boost::assign::list_of is already used (at least in my sample programs :). The idea here is that someone might want to create a child process with: create_child("program", "--lots -of /command 'line options'"); Whether this is worth to be supported by the library out of the box I don't know (as you are right boost::assign::list_of helps here).
